After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, could this American TV series actress (Suits: Custom Lawyers) become Queen of England? Well the answer is yes (in theory). But to get there, it would take a damn twisted storyline, like this
Season 1: Charles and Camilla drop the case
The Prince of Wales, eldest son of Queen Elizabeth, is the designated heir to the throne. But now, after the tragic death of the beautiful Diana, his wife, Charles married the ugly Camilla, whom 55% of the British (April 2016 poll) do not want to see wearing the crown. Suddenly, Charles abdicated.
Season 2: Red Weddings in Buckingham
There, it becomes gore, Game of Thrones style. Charles out of the game, it is the turn of his eldest son, William, to become king. And so his wife, Kate, queen. They go with dignity to the ceremony of their coronation under the cheers of Londoners in a trance when, wham, a double-decker bus gone mad flattens the royal carriage.
Season 3: The Cursed Children
We sink into tragedy. It is the turn of Prince George, eldest son of William and Kate, to advance towards the throne. But a contrary fate (there is talk of a polo accident at Eton) leaves the way open for her younger sister, Charlotte.
Season 4: Charlotte out of the race
Unfortunately for little Charlotte, she chokes on a pastry (the tabloids mention a strawberry charlotte) during a diplomatic trip to France.
Season 5: Louis throws in the towel
There he is, the new King of England! Unless… Don't count on us spoiling you for the season finale.
Season 6: The Coronation
His uncle, Prince Harry and his beautiful Meghan arrive at the right time to avoid the dynastic crisis. They move to Buckingham. God save the King and his wife Queen! Audience record and Grammy Awards at stake.
So, we sum it up for you. To become Queen of England, Meghan Markle will have to rely on fate to eliminate the competition: Harry is only 6th on the list of heirs.
Moreover, of all the possible future queens, only Charlotte, daughter of William and Kate, could become reigning queen. The others, (Camilla, Kate or… Meghan), would only ever be the wives of the monarch. The title of "Queen consort" that she automatically acquires at the time of the coronation of their husband is only honorary.
And finally, to be completely complete, it should be noted that the last to bear the title of Queen of England was... a certain Anne. In 1707, with the union of England and Scotland, she officially became sovereign of Great Britain. And today, the official title of Elizabeth II is "Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
